Liverpool breaks the market: Wirtz for 150 million

According to Sky Sports, Liverpool is one step away from closing the signing of Florian Wirtz for a figure that reaches 150 million euros, which would make him the most expensive transfer ever made in England. The player has already given his consent and has communicated to Bayern his final decision not to join the Bavarian team.

"Florian Wirtz will become the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League"

The impact in Munich has been immediate. For weeks it was taken for granted that Bayern had a closed agreement with the player's environment. But the outcome has been different: Liverpool has moved with greater determination and speed.

A show of authority against Bayern and Manchester City

The operation is not only millionaire, but strategic. Liverpool not only adds talent, but also prevails over two of the most powerful clubs on the continent, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, who were also closely following the player.

With this signing, the English club takes a decisive step in its reconstruction under Arne Slot, who inherits a team with immediate aspirations and now, with one of the most sought-after young players in the world in its ranks, can aspire to everything.

Wirtz's numbers support the investment

At 22 years old, Florian Wirtz has already proven to be ready for the leap. In the current season with Bayer Leverkusen he has registered 16 goals and 14 assists in 44 games, being the most decisive player of the team, even in a season in which the club has not shone collectively.

His performance and maturity have placed him on the radar of all the big clubs in Europe. His arrival at Anfield is not only a bet for the future: it is a bet for the present.

Wirtz will be one of the 3 most expensive signings in football history

The figure of 150 million euros will place Florian Wirtz among the three most expensive signings in football history. The move also redefines the map of power in Europe, with Liverpool strengthening without complexes and Bayern seeing one of the players they seemed to have tied up escape.

In times where young talent is gold, Liverpool has taken almost everything.
